Enteral nutrition practices and associated outcomes in preterm infants with a gestational age less than 34 weeks: a single-center retrospective study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to assess the current status of enteral nutrition (EN) in preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) less than 34 weeks at a single neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to identify factors associated with delayed achievement of total enteral nutrition (TEN). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 137 preterm infants with GA less than 34 weeks admitted to the NICU of Jingzhou Hospital Affiliated to Yangtze University between December 2019 and June 2024. Infants were categorized into Group A (GA < 32 weeks) and Group B (GA ≥ 32 weeks). Each group was further divided into subgroups based on whether TEN was achieved within 21 days (Group A1) or not (Group A2), and within 14 days (Group B1) or not (Group B2), respectively. Differences in EN practices and clinical complications were compared using Results: The initiation of enteral feeding within 48 h and 24 h after birth occurred in 97.08% and 46.72% of cases, respectively. The mean time to achieve TEN was 42.50±22.06 days for infants with GA 26 Conclusion: Preterm infants with GA less than 34 weeks showed a delay in the achievement of TEN. Higher initial feeding volumes and a faster rate of feeding advancement within the first 2 weeks after birth were associated with earlier achievement of TEN and a lower incidence of BPD.
